Savonarola, as represented by the
most conscientious and the most en-
thusiastic of his biopraphers, tine cele-
bTated Villari, was OF middiing height.
Nature had done her best for him in
giving him the broadcast Of chests,
which served him as the forge for his
voice, and large head to contain his
breadth of thought. His composite
temperament indicated rich and varied
abilities. Predominance of the slnguine
element did not exclude bilious tend
ency. His bile affected him in the pro-
portion that his physical bore to his
moral constitution it contributed to
his profound melancholy, to his con-
tempt of the world, to his feelings with
relation to universal decline and cor
ruption, just as his boiling blood con-
tributed TO his ardor in fight, to his
almost warlike desires, to his passion
ate utterances in the tribune and the
pulpit. In fact, he was what we now
adays in current speech call highly
nervous man. The distant cloud,
the electric spark flashing through
the atmosphere, a change Of tenn
perature or of weather, an in-
ward emotion, the most simple social
scene or spectacle of nature, or a
thought the most intimate or secret,
writhed through his nerves, just az a
thunderbolt made them vibrate in dis
order and dissonance. Hence it was
that his spirits were so easily elevated
and so easily depressed hence his he
roic energy and sudden depression, in
credible assaults and falls, tine most
violent impulses and backslidings, an
aptitude for supernatural visions,
and likewise for obstinate contests
all brought about by these electric
chains, which are called nerves, pro-
ceeding from the two opposite poles of
life. His nose, broad but aquiline,
gave him n certain nobility of air !;
while his full lips, ready for every ut
terance, gave him the look of tine orator !;
strongly marked wrinkles crossing his
forehead witnessed in their deep fur
rows to his concentrated and fiery
thought sadness fell from his tender
glance and from his melancholy
smile; the simplicity of his lie
was indicated by the modesty and
reserve manifest in his look and
gesture. and all the attractive graces of
his mind in voice which, without
being exactly musical yet when
warmed and expanded by his soul,
proved extremely persuasive and elo-
aucnt. There is no doubt, then, that
his physical and moral faculties showed
thai be was called TO be an orator, to
tLst highest OF ministries, which. for
thousand palpable reasons, Influences
society and men most powerfully in
The general direction Of their Affairs.
